Husbands Farting and What to Do

160 replies

CatchTheCulprit · 04/07/2020 23:41

I have reached the end of my tether and find my Husband's farting repulsive. I have moaned and nagged and begged him to stop forcing one out as I find it revolting. He finds it funny. The state of his pants and shorts tell the tale and the other week he farted and followed through on the sofa. I know farting is a natural bodily function but FFS enough is enough. I don't know what to do to get through to him that this is just not on anymore.
Has he no respect? Is this the way he's been brought up or does he simply not care about my feelings? And don't ask me about cleaning the skid marks off the toilet every day. What the fuck do I do?

I do know someone who divorced on similar grounds. Unreasonable behaviour.

No one needs this shit in their lives.

His behaviour is very disrespectful to you.
You need to consider if this is how you want to live for the rest of your life.
You deserve better.

I would stop doing ANY of his washing to start with. He sounds revolting. Recently I had to make a fuss to my DH because he does REALLY loud burps which revolt me. I told him it was disrespectful and he said he has to burp,. I said yes, but not at that volume and he wouldn't do it in frontof X Y or Z friends/family so how about affording me that respect too? And he has stopped, finally I got through to him saying that. Ask him if he would be happy shitting his pants in front of other people? Good luck

Does he do this at work, or when socialising with friends? Or only at home?

If the latter then he clearly has more control. And if he is not choosing to exercise that control when with you/at home, it’s not a medical issue it’s a DH issue.

You can buy him from Boots The Chemist and Supermarkets...

TENA MEN - they are selling pants and pads with the advertising words “Keep Control”.

You should buy some and give them to
Be him when he come home.

If he is really is having this problem keeping clean then this might be helping him.

If he is just sick slob then buying him will embarrass him to change!!!

Do it today!!!

Your DH sounds very much like my DB, who we used to have to stay occasionally. The house literally stank when he was staying here. He did the exact same things your DH does, though he doesn't laugh about it. He does have serious MH issues so we made allowances, but then he became aggressive towards our DDs, and they were scared of him, so we no longer have him here.

I couldn't imagine being married to someone who does that, it was bad enough when it was 2-3 days.

Revolting...

Only once did I wash shitty clothes... And that was when OH was being horribly ill.

It's disgusting....

Just stop... Stop cleaning his clothes /toilet... Put him on notice that if it's not stopped within a time... You'll escalate... Whatever that means for you? (leave for a few days /start divorce proceedings....

CatchTheCulprit my ExH used to think farting was hilarious when we first married as it was how his family had always behaved - the women too! The turning point for him was when I gave him some homeopathic/herbal remedy that a vet had recommended to stop a horse farting (surprisingly it did actually work!) and I think it shook him up that his 'loving' wife would compare him to a horse.

Farting and the resulting/associated follow throughs and skid marks is a perfectly reasonable cause for divorce given the upset and distress it causes you.
I wish you lots of luck getting him to change his ways Flowers
